The main cloud that makes snow is the Cumulonimbus cloud. The bases of these clouds are low, about 2000ft from the ground. This cloud however, is very tall, the top can reach 20,000 to 60,000ft.

Cumulonimbus are not the only cloud capable of making snow, Nimbostratus and Cumulus clouds can also produce snow, all of their bases are relatively low.

Cumulonimbus clouds do not always make snow though, the main weather that they bring are thunderstorms.
